1,049 Midshipmen became Ensigns and Second Lieutenants yesterday at Navy/Marine Corps Stadium as part of the Graduation and Commissioning Ceremony for the Class of 2025. 751 men and 298 women were in the graduating class. 776 received commissions in the Navy. 258 were commissioned into the Marine Corps. Congrats and welcome to the ranks of alumni.

Ever wonder what happens to all those covers (hats)?

I’m not sure what they do with them, but possibly there are enterprising entrepreneurs and have found a secondary marketplace!
